Jali Bakary-Konteh

About the Event

Jali continues his family's Gambian kora legacy, following in the footsteps of his legendary grandfather, Alhaji Bai Konte.

Jali is the grandson and son, respectively, of the legendary Gambian kora players Alhaji Bai Konte and Dembo Konte. Born into this remarkable musical lineage and steeped in Gambia’s griot tradition, Jali is the latest torchbearer for his family’s kora legacy on the world stage. Like his father and grandfather before him, Jali brings his own personal touch and innovations to traditional songs with unique melodic and rhythmic arrangements.
